THere was a company that was doing them scratch built but they were pretty expensive and didn't look all that clever either

Would have thought there would be a market for RST models as they are still very popular cars

I've got 3 S1's but they arent mint and boxed.

They are made by a French company called Solido and they are all in 'race' livery

So they are about if you look.....

Yes

But like I say, they arent mint, they've obviously been played with and they arent boxed...

So I am not expecting top money for them....

I had a brand new boxed one and I am sure that set me back Ł25 but I sold that to a lad I know with an S1

PM me an offer....

I've got some of those.

alternatively, you can build your own plastic model via this site:

UT made them a while back, but they stopped a while back.

Theres a WRC Road car in Silver on ebay Here Could always paint that.

And theres a copule of 1:43 scale black road cars if you'll consider smaller. Keep your eyes on eBay though as loads come up on there.

Link 2

Also see if theres a ModelZone shop anywhere near you. As thats where I got my blue 1:18 from. They were stock clearing so got it much cheaper. Oh and see if theres a model or collectible fair near you.

Try these as well. (Usual never used or know the shop)
